Deputy President of the Senate, Ike Ekweremadu, yesterday, revealed what the attack on the Senate on Wednesday, has cost Nigeria.

While describing the invasion of the Senate as an indictment of security agencies in the country, he said no foreign investors would like to invest in a country with such a porous security system.

He added that, it is another lesson on the need to rethink the nation’s security structure.

Thugs suspected to be loyal to the suspended Senator representing Delta Central Senatorial district, Ovie Omo-Agege on Wednesday, invaded the red chambers and forcefully took away the mace.

The Deputy Senate President spoke when he received the leadership of the Nigerian Political Science Association, NPSA, which paid a solidarity visit to the Senate.

He said: “It is an embarrassment to Nigeria before the international community for someone to drive all the way into the National Assembly Complex, enter the hallowed chamber, and cart away its symbol of authority.

“It shows a breakdown of security and it is a setback to Nigeria’s drive for foreign investment because no one would be ready to invest money in such a system.

“So, it is a lesson that we cannot keep doing the same thing with our security system and expect a different result.

“It is also an irony that the people involved would organise armed bandits to rob the Senate of its mace since they understand the implication of what they have done.

“As a parliament, we will ensure that this does not happen again and insist that all the actors behind the drama are brought to book.”

OGA what will not happen again? mace stealing or quack security heads. Sir this is what you get when "Undeserving" Men and Women are put in sensitive positions, From the NIA, DIA, SARS and Local Security heads. Remember the "OGA at the top dude" HE was the head of a sensitive security outfit (Probably still is). I am afraid of Nigeria, Not cos of Kidnapping, Assassinations and all that, NO, I Am afraid cos our leaders (Old Lazy men) keep digging Graves with their lack of Patriotism. Every, go eventually end in gist, (swept away) Like every other Nigerian problem, so in 10 year into the future another (Old man) will say "Nigerian Youths are not Deciplined". Remember sir History will Ask where u were "When there was a country" and you answer will be "I Just sat at the head of its senate and did nothing"

Really?

Mr blockhead, what has the continued presence of Saraki as President of the Senate (despite an ongoing trial for falsification and forgery) done to the image of the country?


Mr asswipe, what has your own continued presence as deputy Senate President (despite an ongoing investigation into your fraudulently purchasing homes in choice locations across the globe) done to the image of this country?


Sir, permit me to say that all of you in both chambers are mad.


We can only hope that you all drop dead. Maybe then Nigeria will know some peace.
